On September 22, 2018, representatives of the U.S. Transhumanist Party met in San Diego, California, during RAAD Fest 2018, in order to provide an overview of recent efforts and future prospects, discuss approaches to advocacy with several leading transhumanist public figures, and field audience questions regarding the transhumanist movement and its goals.

Andrés Grases, the publisher of the Transhuman Plus website (http://transhumanplus.com/) interviews U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II at RAAD Fest 2018 in San Diego, CA, on September 23, 2018. During the course of this conversation, both the contemporary state of transhumanist politics and future directions are covered – along with the challenges to reforming the educational system, the need to create open access to academic works, the manner in which the transition toward the next era of technologies will occur, the meaning of transhumanism and its applications in the proximate future – including promising advances that we can expect to see during the next several years.

The U.S. Transhumanist Party: Pursuing a Peaceful Political Revolution for Longevity

Overview: Today’s political systems are bitter and polarized because of a scarcity and a zero-sum mentality. Transhumanism promises a future of widespread abundance that overcomes today’s major sources of scarcity – particularly the scarcity of time that arises with today’s woefully short lifespans. The U.S. Transhumanist Party represents a new political paradigm that seeks primarily to influence public opinion to support the feasibility and desirability of indefinite life extension as well as a wide array of other emerging technologies that could radically improve all our lives. We are already pursuing a revolutionary new approach to politics through our free and open membership, electronic ranked-preference voting, member-driven platform, and transpartisan embrace of all thinkers who can help constructively shape a future of radical and universal flourishing.
